Thread: 2016 Presidential Election

  1. #1

    Default 2016 Presidential Election

    Heard today that Rand Paul (Ron's son) has indicated he might run next time. Can't see him having much more success than his father though.

    What we need is an uncharismatic, socially conservative candidate who exaggerates his own credentials and can't get any support from his own party.

    I would love for Herman to run again, we still don't know whether he was a Kaufman or not

    Michele is a given, she is a real gem of insanity

    Is Rubio old enough? The Low-key pubbies might go for some latin-o spice this go around

    The Bush girl? She'd just make the age limit I think

    If Christie goes on a diet, you know he's gonna be there

    Santorum got the insane evangelical mandate last time, he might give it a whirl, not like Ricky has better things to do

    Newt might have realized he's too caustic, could not have, we'll see

    Whole host of other young names I'm not really familiar with

    Maybe Paul "Bioshock" Ryan will have a go at the ticket? That'd be great.

    I have no idea about '16 and seriously no one else does either this is stupid
    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    Maybe some no-name Republican will become a Senator in 2014 and use his demagogic skills to win the presidency in 2016. Hope and change!

    You mean, fear and stasis.

    I thought that was the Obama 2012 platform?

    No, that was "I am not a Republican".

    A) 4 more years.
    B) If you don't reelect me, the other guy will rape your children and your parents.

    Romney never actually denied that.

    Bobby, no bloody way. While his managment of his state during BP disaster would help him His college history will fuck him.

    Marco, so far I would like. Need more info.

    Christy is the best bet, so far. (Just needs to get below Taft size)

    There was a NY Times piece about how GOP apparatchiks really hate Christy now over how he handled Sandy (and Obama). Jindal is one of the leaders of the war against science. Not sure if I'd want a Senator to become president given how the last one turned out.

    College history? Whatever it is I doubt its worse than draft dodging or racism (like KKK membership that one Democratic senator had).

    You think that's worse than being part of the KKK?

    Good thing he's not running against that guy (then again, in Louisiana, he might be).

    Isn't declaring too early pretty much the end of your chances?
    Congratulations America

    Romney did pretty well.

    With too early I mean; before you have actually sounded out potential (relevant) supporters?

    Generally might be true, but election season has been getting longer and longer. I really wouldn't be surprised if people started campaigning within a year.

    Did the girl press charges? What's her take? I'm assuming if he wrote about it she's pretty positive about the experience. And you do know he was elected governor right?

    Do you think criminals shouldn't be prosecuted if the victim doesn't press charges (assume that independent evidence of the crime exists)?

    Jebus Lewk, it just bloody looks bad. Nevermind if she pressed charges or not. He went down the path of it must be demons and not sick from cancer?

    Can you not picture what the electoral map would look like?

    Depends on the situation. Get into a heated argument about something with your buddy and you insult him and he punches you, maybe you don't want to have charges filed. Why would the police bother if everything is patched up and no one wants to see a prosecution?

    In college. Bush became intoxicated and drove a vehicle. He could of potentially KILLED people. And yet your hostility to certain religious (however absurd it maybe) beliefs is making you think this is far worse than it is.
